There's no doubt that at the top of any intrepid traveler's bucket list is an opportunity to experience the world's most unique and remote cultures. In Papua New Guinea, visitors have the chance to do just that. With over 800 different languages and tribes, the
Mt Hagen Cultural Show, or
Sing Sing as referred to in the local language, has become one of the best ways to get an up close and personal look into the rich traditions of PNG's different tribes. This year's Mt Hagen Sing Sing will take place August 11 - 12, 2012. In 2013, the show will move back to the third weekend in August.

According to TV host and travel writer, Robin Esrock, "The Mt Hagen Cultural Show is easily one of the world's most authentic, and fascinating tribal experiences. This is Papua New Guinea, not some plastic showcase with a gift shop at the exit. The diversity of costumes, dances, language, traditions and music is mind blowing. For travelers chasing unique cultural encounters, it just doesn't get any better than PNG." Boasting an attendance of over 75 tribes, The Mt Hagen Sing Sing originated in the late 1950s as a way to improve relations between the various groups, share cultural experiences and celebrate the diversity of cultures among community members. Since then the show has grown and evolved into a truly remarkable display of song and dance where groups come to display stunning facial tattoos, elaborate body paint and ornate headdresses.
